Remixing the Art of Social Change: Register Today

REMIXING THE ART OF SOCIAL CHANGE: A HIP-HOP APPROACH 2010, produced by Words, Beats and Life is not your average conference or gathering...

It’s a teach-in where folks from across the world come together in Washington, D.C. to participate in a unique experience that’s both action-oriented and community-based. The teach-in outlines the tools and resources necessary to develop curriculum, programs, and artistic and scholarly work based on hip-hop culture. This year, SOYA's founder Khadijah Ali-Coleman was part of the volunteer planning committee, involved in planning and giving feedback for the exciting six-day gathering planned, with opportunities for youth workers to reinforce work as an individual or as part of an organization.  The presenters at Remixing the Art of Social Change are the artists and educators who never gave up on hip-hop and are still actively working through it to promote love, peace, unity and having fun.


Check out last year’s presentations here.  Last year’s teach-in featured the critical voices of hip-hop, including pioneer Afrika Bambaataa and scholars, youth, organizations, artists and activists from around the world. This year will offer films, advocacy, networking, community building, career fair, live music, interactive presentations, peer-to-peer skill sharing, arts exhibitions, and of course group ciphers!
